you can read the quotes for the delegations from virginia, florida, mississippi, and alabama. it is very clear that they were targeting african-americans and tried to keep them from voting right alongside poll taxes, literacy tests, and anything else that the voting rights act has eliminated. these remain on the books. there is a massive disenfranchisement of committees of colors. these disenfranchise entire communities. if part of a family cannot vote, the family cannot vote. the children will not vote. it is not surprising that these are rooted in jim crow in the southern states. even in the states that are considered a beacon of norman -- of northern freedom, they are also rooted in discriminatory laws. we went to the new york historical society. we went to the legislative libraries in albany. we did research around the country to find out where this law came from here in new york. it turns out that when you go back to look at the state constitutional conventions and the old constitution which are actually pretty fun to read, it turns out that new york was the only state in

host: let's get to calls approximately fred joins us from west virginia. you're on with charlie peters. caller: thank you very much for c-span for trying to do a better life for everybody. i have a president for president johnson. he had a speech in new york about immigration. he said that i made a new law that immigrants coming in u.s. has to be two conditions. one is he has to have a very close relative, and second, he has to have some kind of skill or know some kind of job. i know if they do that, the problem is going to be solved. host: talk about immigration. guest: the speech he refers to i'm not familiar with, but one of the tremendous accomplishments with johnson in my mind, as least, was the immigration bill of 1965, where for years, we had had a great wave of immigration around the turn of the century, but then congress had passed a very restrictive bill that for 30 or 40 years restricted immigration to people, pretty much to white northern europeans. it was almost impossible for someone from southern or eastern europe to get in, or from anywhere
